SPINDRIFT-Liberate The Pirates Of Penzance-Steady-EX/M-; psf; '70 indy label oddity is actually a good acid-rock update of the Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera, I wonder who did they think would buy this? $75
SPIRIT-Ode-VG+(+)/EX; rw; color back cvr; BTW, this is one of those 'not so rare' 1960s US LP's where truly mint vinyl is nearly nonexistent now! $18

It's been running on cable locally, and it has a scene with the band (as themselves) in which the main character is handed a copy of "our new record" by Jay Ferguson; this is apparently a prop cover of the first LP, with the usual color back cover and a really cool, completely different front color cover! (helps to have a big screen TV to see this detail)…anybody ever seen that movie cover in person?
